Description
This timely book explores how changing territorial politics are impacting on social citizenship rights across the UK. Drawing on extensive research over the last 10 years, it brings together leading scholars to chart the connection between devolution and the meaning of social citizenship in the country.
The contributors examine the different issues that will shape the future territorial politics of citizenship in the UK, including intergovernmental relations and finance, policy divergence, bureaucratic politics, public opinion, and the European Union. This analysis provides valuable insights for academics and policymakers interested in social policy, public policy, citizenship studies, politics, and political science.
